Removal, Refixation, and Augmentation of a Broken Iliosacral Screw: A Percutaneous Surgical Technique.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: The management of a broken iliosacral screw in an anterior-posterior compression (APC)-type pelvic ring injury presents a surgical challenge, particularly in cases requiring removal and refixation without navigation assistance. Objective: This study describes a step-by-step surgical technique for safely removing a fractured S1 cannulated iliosacral screw and replacing it with a larger-diameter screw, supplemented with additional fixation (e.g., S2 screw or iliosacral fixation) to enhance stability. Technique: The procedure involves careful fluoroscopy-guided extraction of the broken screw, followed by reaming and placement of a larger screw for improved fixation. Supplementary stabilization (e.g., S2 screw or transiliac-transsacral fixation) is then added to reinforce the construct. Conclusion: This technique provides a reliable solution for managing broken iliosacral screws in APC pelvic injuries, even without navigation, while optimizing biomechanical stability through larger screw replacement and supplemental fixation.
